Selecting the Optimal Option for Check Point R81.10 Security Gateway Capsule Installation

ihenock101 — Thu, 16 Nov 2023 06:01:37 GMT

Hi All,

I have a query regarding the installation of the Check Point R81.10 Security Gateway Capsule on Windows. During the installation process, I encountered three available options, and our customers have inquired about the recommended choice. Unfortunately, I am unsure about the differences between these options and which one aligns with best practices. Could you kindly provide clarification on their variances and suggest the most suitable option?

FYI: These are the options I got during installing the .msi file

The licenses you have for Remote Access will determine which option is most optimal for your situation.
Desktop Firewall and Endpoint Compliance require Endpoint Security VPN (and require either Harmony Endpoint or ACCESS SKUs).
Check Point Mobile will work with Mobile Access Blade licenses, but does not have Firewall or Endpoint Compliance.
SecuRemote can be used when you have neither type of license, but it has some significant limitations: https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Remote-Access-VPN/Quick-Primer-on-How-to-Configure-your-Gateway-for-SecuRemote/m-p/79081#M2717
